What's Happened to Us?

"What's happened to us?"

"I don't know."

"You must know."

"I don't, all right?'

"I think that I do."

"Oh, really?"

"Yes."

"Then what is it?"

"I think we're changing."

"Growing up?"

"Yes."

"I miss yesterday."

"So do I."

"Do you remember all of the stupid things that we used to get up to?"

"They were the best times ever, weren't they?"

"They were. All of the times trying to escape teachers at school, so we wouldn't have to go out in the cold?"

"Yeah! And all of the times in Belfast, sitting in the lift and scaring people!"

"'I'm wearing new socks today!', while I stared at them in a strange way?"

"And the whole 'personal bubble' thing? The way I used to freak out if they came too close?"

"We laughed then, didn't we?"

"Like there was no tomorrow."

"All of the sleepovers? You remember them? We used to watch scary movies until the sun came up."

"And we used to be wrecked all day, but we still wouldn't go for a sleep, would we? We'd soldier on."

"But things have changed."

"I haven't seen you in months."

"I miss you. Do you miss me?"

"Of course I do. More than anything."

"It's strange, like a parts of me is gone."

"That's cheesy."

"I know!"

"You still make me laugh like that."

"I'll always make you laugh."

"I suppose you will."

"When was the last time we truly laughed?"

"I don't know. I don't know much anymore."

"How have you been?"

"All right. You?"

"I've met a few other people."

"Oh."

"They're nice. You'd like them. Have you met anyone else?"

"A couple. It's not the same, though. We haven't been out in a while."

"I guess I'm busy."

"You're always busy."

"I know."

"You never used to be that busy."

"Neither did you."

"What's happened to us?"

"I don't know."
